Some conjectures and results about multizeta values for F_q[t]

Abstract

In this paper, we explain several conjectures about how a product of two Carlitz-Goss zeta values can be expressed as a F_p-linear combination of Thakur's multizeta values, generalizing the q=2 case dealt by D. Thakur in Relations between multizeta values for F_q[t]. In contrast to the classical sum shuffle, ζ(a)ζ(b)=ζ(a+b)+ζ(a,b)+ζ(b,a), the identities we get are much more involved. Hundreds of instances of these conjectures have been proved and we describe the proof method and the evidence.

Asymptotic density of k-almost primes

Landau's well known asymptotic formula $$N_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : Ω(n)=k\}\mid \ \sim \left( \frac{x}{\log x} \right) \frac{(\log\log x)^{k-1}}{(k - 1)!}\ \ (x \rightarrow \infty),$$ which also holds for $$π_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : ω(n)=k\}\mid,$$ is known to be fairly poor for $k > 1$, and when $k$ is allowed to tend to infinity with $x$, the study of $N_k(x)$ and $π_k(x)$ becomes very technical [1, Chapter II.6, $§$ 6.1, p.200]. I hope to show that the method described below provides not only a more accurate approach, but rather increases in its asymptotic accuracy as $k$ tends to infinity.

Transcendence Meets Normality: Construction of Transcendentally Normal Numbers

In this work, we study real numbers $x$ for which $p(x)$ is (absolutely) normal for every non-constant integer-valued polynomial $p$. We call such numbers transcendentally normal. We prove that almost every real number is transcendentally normal and provide an explicit construction of such a number, based on Sierpinski's covering method and novel ideas involving the so-called stretch function. In the next step, we transform this construction into an algorithm that computes the digits of a t-normal number recursively in all integer bases. Moreover, we extend our covering approach to construct and compute LIL-normal numbers whose discrepancies are of the order predicted by the law of the iterated logarithm. We also take the opportunity to discuss several interesting open problems.
